'From the Aboriginal fringe camps of his birth to the catwalk, basketball court, DJ console and more... With writer and photographer Meme McDonald, Pryor leads you along the paths he has travelled, pausing to meet his family and friends, while sharing the story of his life, his pain and his hopes, with humour and compassion.'

Description
This subject explores Indigenousness. It is an invitation to critically engage in contemporary discussions about 'Indigenous knowledges'. Through opportunities to interact directly with Indigenous Australians in their own country, this subject explores issues surrounding cross-cultural views of landscape and wilderness. It further explores relationships of power, notions of authenticity and assertions of Indigenous identities. The subject links learnings from Indigenous Australian and western knowledge systems through a range of different learning environments including: fieldtrip activities to Aboriginal tourist attractions; full-day workshops on the university campus and online study materials and activities.
